Leading along the edge of the precipice, when

A GIGANTIC OAK.

One of the most remarkable freaks of
lightning that has como to our notice
for a long time is reported from Bakers
Mills, near Vienna, N. J. Miss Sarah
Shotwell was nursing in the family Of
William M. Mitchell at that place, and
in the evening during shower, stepped
to stand in the bedroom Of Mrs. Nit
chell for the purpose of lighting lamp,
and while in the act Of Lighting match,
was struck by lightning. The point at
which the electricity first struck appears
to have been her pocketbook in which
there were two or three gold coins, which
she was carrying in her bosom. The
edges Of the gold pieces were melted.
The current then passed down her per-
son, tearing the shoes from her feet, and
entering the building. The balls Of her
feet were badly lacerated. For time the
lady was rendered insensible. but restora-
tives were administered and she grad
ually regained CONSEQUENCES, but COM
planned greatly OF her feet. She is now
doing well md will fully recover. The
house was damaged to about $500.

NO. TIT
a REFoRMER,s CHARGES

In these days of surprises, political SOM
ersaults, new parties and general hurly-
burly, the performance of John X. Cowan,
prominent Democrat of Baltimore, in
entering the Republican State Convention
and from its platform endorsing, in his
own name, and in the names Of the lnde-
pendent Democrats of the State, the tick
ct just completed by the Republicans,
may excite only nine days wonder, but
the period is not so very far back when
such an experiment would have been at
tended with considerable risk.
Mr.. Cowan's denunciation of the rotten
Democratic ring in Maryland was about
as vigorous as it could well be. He did
not mince words nor indulge in inuendo,
but he named the men and described their
actions boldly and distinctly. Senator
German, who was specially pilloried as
the prime mover in election frauds, has
been prominent as friend OF Mr.. Cleye-
land, and to link The Administration still
closer with these irregular practices, or,
at least with the perpetrators of them.
Mr.. Cowan made the grave assertion that
Mr.. German brought Eugene Higgins
TO Howard county to forge the ballots.''
Hitherto Mr.. Higgins, as becomes a
man who believes that he has got
pull, has loftily ignored more mutter-
ings and threats Of formal complaint, and
Mr.. Cleveland does not seem to have gone
out of his way to find out what all the
anti-Higgins sentiment meant. But this
specific and scandalous charge must be
noticed and met somehow. It ia bad
enough to have SO serious q split in the
party anyhow, but if tho same hands that
are passing campaign ammunition over to
the Republicans are also spiking Demo.
cratic guns, the situation becomes serious.
Mr.. Higgins owes it to himself and 10
the Administration to resent In every way
these astounding aspcrsions. Individual.
~ he has his remedy against Mr.. Cowan.
and beyond that Mr.. Higgins should de-
mand an official investigation into his
conduct as a Government employee, ire.
spectiye Of the fact that he may have
been ION his vacation when certain all
legged Irregularities were perpetrated. If
Mr. Higgins do not adopt some such
course, and the Administration shall also
fail to move in the matter, the question
Of Higgins ''pull'' viii be definitely set
tied in the public mind. Nepark Eoen-

The Mormon Church has now got to
face the most crushing blow yet dealt at
its power. The United States Attorney
for Utah Territory has begun suit against
tho trustees and managers Of the Mormon
Church TO disincorporate that concern,
wind up its affairs aud coniiscate all It's
property, worth $4,000, 600, save the $780,.
900 which is the limit placed upon church
holdings by act of Congress. The money
thus escheated to the United States will
be applied for the benefit Of the common
school funds of the Territory. This, how
ever, will be but mere formalty, for
the Edmunds. Tucker law of last session
expressly provide for disincorporating the
Church and for the application Of its sur.
plus funds.

A STARTLING PREDICTION.


Two hundred years ago in China there
was just such craze about natural gas
as We have In this country to-day. Gas
wells were sunk with rs much vim and
vigor as the Celestals were capable of,
but owing to a gas explosion that killed
several millions of people and tore up and
destroyed large district of country,
leaving large inland sea- known on the
maps as Lake Foo Chang, the boring of
any moro gas wells was then and there
prohibited by law. 1t seems, according
to the Chinese history, that many large
and heavy pressure gas wells were struck,
aud in some districts wells were sunk
quite near to each other. Gas was light
ed as soon as struck, as is done 10 this
country. It is stated that one we'll with
its unusual pressure, by induction or back
draught, pulled down into the earth the
burning gas Of a smaller we'll, resulting In
dreadful explosion Of large district,
destroying tho inhabitants thereof. Lake
Foo Chang rests on this district. The
same catastrophe Is imminent in this
e2qqetgy aelsss Che laws sessrlet fursasr
Should similar explosion occur there
will be such an upheaval as will dwarf
the most terrible earthquakes ever known.
Tho country along the gas belt from
Toledo through ONO, Indiana and Ken
lucky will be ripped up to the depth OF
1900 to 1900 feet and Topped over like
pancake, leaving chasm through
which Lake Erie will como bowling down,
filling the Ohio and Mississippi valleys
and blotting them out forever. Oiacin-

Mr.. Bartine Green of Asbury Park, is
almost as well as ever, after the shock
from the lightning Saturday. and not
dead, as rumored. He says the bolt
which struck the Spray View House ran
along the telephone wire just as he was
passing under it, and it seemed to jump
from the wire pail he was carrying, which
knocked him down. 1t was the second
bolt which rendered him unconscious.
Mr.. Green received shock about four
teen years ago, which he never fully re-
covered from. He has on his side spot
which is burned. and he cannot account
for it, as he was not near any fire.

1t will astonish the farmers OF the
East to learn that the Dalrymple farm
in Dakota has just received consign-
ment OF 100 tons, or 8 carloads, Of bind
ers' Irvine for the coming wheat harvest.
1t gives some idea of the vast crop oil
The Western States and Territories to
hear that one farm pays $4,000 fol
Irvine to bind its wheat in bundles.
How much valuable grain would be lost
on this farm if the old hand-twisted
straw were used to keep the wheat to.

the country when big farms like the Dali
rymple are cut up into small ones. Il Erie

An admirable supplement to the Ere
port of the Seybert Commission" is fur
nished by the paper which Prof. H. Car
viii Lewis has republished from tho Pro-
ceedings of the English Society for Psy-
chical Research, under the title "The
Alleged Physical Phenomena of Spiritual
ism. An Account Of Two Seances.' Prof.
Lewis is a graduate of our University,
and has won distinction as a geologist
and as popular lecturer on his own
science. Being in Europe, and finding
that Mr.. w. Eglinton was enjoying as
much vogue as slate-writing medium as
was enjoyed by Mr.. Home or DR.. Slade
at an earlier date, he resolved to go and
see what he could do. The results are
about the same as the Seybert Commits
sion reached with DIR. Slade. In no in
stance was anything achieved which was
not within reach of clever performer in
sleight-of- hand. In several the presence
of palpable imposture was traced by Prof.
LEWIS ptoottCcu oyCs Auc tcStc Wcto du~
mirably chosen and under every one Of
them Mr.. Eglinton's supernatural power
broke down. Such exposures may be
very useful in deterring the inexperienced
from falling into delusions on the subject;
but they never will serve to convert de-
tormined Spiritualist. With him it is:
If The facts are against us, so much the
worse for the facts
In this connection we may observe that
the only serious criticism of the Seybert
Commissions Report from the Spiritual
list side finds fault with them for taking
up slate writing first. The report says
they did so at the suggestion of Mr.. Thos.
Hazard, who enjoyed Mr.. Seybert's en-
tire confidence, and who therefore had
right to make that choice for them

Brook, on Wednesday, discovered por-
ton of the body Of man. The flesh
was nearly all gone from the bones. It
is generally supposed that the body is
that Of Wrinkle Conover, who was de-
tected in robbing the Bound Brook Post
Office on February 10 last. He escaped
from the building and ran TO the Rari-
tan river, where he jumped in, and was
supposed to have drowned.
